Castasterone assisted accumulation of polyphenols and antioxidant to increase tolerance of B. juncea plants towards copper toxicity

The concentration of copper in soil is increasing, which may potentially affect the crop yield. Brassinosteroids are well known to enhance tolerance towards abiotic stress, but role of castasterone in this context is poorly understood. The present study was designed to explore the potential of casta...
